2. 1. Eczema

3. What is Eczema? Eczema is a general term for many types of skin inflammation (dermatitis). The most common form of eczema is atopic dermatitis (sometimes these two terms are used interchangeably). However, there are many different forms of eczema. Eczema can affect people of any age, although the condition is most common in infants, and about 85% of those affected have an onset prior to 5 years of age.

4. Eczema will permanently resolve by age 3 in about half of affected infants. In others, the condition tends to recur throughout life. People with eczema often have a family history of the condition or a family history of other allergic conditions, such as asthma orhay fever. Eczema is slightly more common in girls than in boys. It occurs in people of all races. Eczema is not contagious, but since it is believed to be at least partially inherited, it is not uncommon to find members of the same family affected.

8. Intense itching is generally the first symptom in most people with eczema.

9. Sometimes, eczema may lead to blisters and oozing lesions, but eczema can also result in dry and scaly skin.

12. The condition tends to come and go, depending upon exposures to triggers or causative factors.

15. The signs and symptoms of seborrheic eczema include yellowish, oily, scaly patches of skin on the scalp, face, and occasionally other parts of the body.

17. This form of eczema is relatively uncommon and occurs most frequently in elderly men.

18. Is usually a chronic condition.

23. The cause of dyshidrotic eczema is unknown. Dyshidrotic eczema is also known as vesicular palmoplantar dermatitis, dyshidrosis, or pompholyx.

25. Apply cream, lotion, or moisturizer to prevent dryness.

26. To ease irritation, apply ointment to the affected area or cover with dressing to prevent scratching.

27. Choose cotton clothes. Avoid wool or synthetic fabrics.

30. The dry flakes and skin scales are thought to result from the rapid buildup of skin cells.

33. On the nails, it can look like very small pits (pinpoint depressions or white spots on the nail) or as larger yellowish-brown separations of the nail bed called "oil spots." Nail psoriasis may be confused with and incorrectly diagnosed as a fungal nail infection.

38. Apply petroleum jelly to the affected areas.

39. Refrain using alcohol.

40. Try to manage stress.

43. A joint is an area of the body where two different bones meet. A joint functions to move the body parts connected by its bones.

44. Arthritis literally means inflammation of one or more joints.

45. Arthritis may be a symptom of many disorders.

46. The causes of arthritis depend on the form of arthritis.

49. An accurate diagnosis increases the chances for successful treatment.

52. Osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative arthritis.

54. Rheumatoid arthritis can also cause inflammation of the tissue around the joints, as well as in other organs in the body.

56. 4. Asthma

58. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing.

59. The coughing often occurs at night or early in the morning.

63. They believed that asthma was derived from internal imbalances, which could be restored by healthy diet, plant and animal remedies, or lifestyle changes.

65. Asthma involves only the bronchial tubes and does not affect the air sacs or the lung tissue.

67. The bronchial tubes become red, irritated, and swollen.

68. This inflammation increases the thickness of the wall of the bronchial tubes and thus results in a smaller passageway for air to flow through.

70. Bronchospasm causes the airway to narrow further.

72. Exposure to these triggers may result in progressively more inflammation and narrowing.

75. During attacks, sit upright, leaning forward with arms resting on a table.

76. Know what triggers the attack and avoid these trigger factors.

77. Stop smoking.

78. Exercise regularly.

79. Maintain regular dusting and cleaning of the surroundings.
